UEFA Champions League: Barcelona vs Ajax?

The first games for both Ajax
and Barcelona are now over. The two teams managed to defeat their
respective opponents, Tottenham and Liverpool, nearly relegating the
teams out of the race. What happened and why did the EPL teams do so
badly?

Barcelona vs Liverpool – Game 2 Coming Up

Barcelona and Liverpool had a very
intense first game. While Liverpool started strongly in the first
half, they began making mistakes early on, securing Barcelonaa 2-point lead. A third, devastating point came later on in
the competition, with Lionel Messi sealing the deal completely
in favor of his team and tucking in a spectacular 3rd
goal.

Messi had the crowds in ecstasy and
Barcelona achieved an important first victory. Liverpool allowed
their defense to falter. In the analysts before the game, experts
said that Messi would be difficult to stop. It turned out to be true.

The analysts also said that for
Liverpool to succeed, they would need to step up and assume
responsibility. Somewhere along the way, Liverpool just didn’t pull
it off.

It was bizarre to watch Jurgen Klopp’s
team getting drubbed. Having completely dominated the English Premier
League (EPL), Liverpool haven’t suffered a tougher defeat in a long
while. The team completely lost their footing in the important match
against Barcelona.

Why? Nobody really knows. Liverpool
lacked in defense and they didn’t show their overall inventiveness in
attacking. It was strange to watch how one of the best clubs that had
gone undefeated for months got completely trashed.

Even though Camp Nou is historically a
strong stadium for Liverpool, it wasn’t so this time around. History
didn’t help Liverpool either, with their team managing to defeat and
even knock out Barcelona of important competitions.

Meanwhile, Tottenham were fighting a
game of their own.

Tottenham vs Ajax – What Happened in Game 1?

There we have Tottenham, the team to do
somewhat better against Ajax. Even though the Spurs came into the
game with a number of injured athletes (and many missing out
completely), the team played well.

They succumbed to Ajax in the end, but
the opponent’s advantage was negligible, giving them just one-point
advantage if anything. Ajax did very well on the offensive and the
they managed to shut down the Spurs attacks, which left them a little
confused.

However, Tottenham, seeing that
offensive was lacking decided to focus on their own defense as well
as the midfield, choosing to play very slow and methodical attacks
rather than the spurt-of-the-moment assault on the enemy’s goal.

Tottenham didn’t have much of the
initiative though and their decision to focus on the mid-field gave
the less of ability to attack and make sure they score. Still,
holding out and giving up only one point to Ajax was an important
development in itself.

At the same time, Liverpool suffered a
drubbing at the hands of Barcelona. If some have been hoping that
they will see an English UCL, they now must reconsider. Both Ajax and
Barcelona have significant advantages over their respective teams.

The Betting Preview: UCL – Barcelona, Liverpool

Want to really get some change to
place a wager and win? Well, we recommend betting on Barcelona vs
Liverpool. You would say – this wouldn’t give us much value after
all, but we beg to differ.

Jurgen Klopp is not a person who leaves
matters unsettled. He and Liverpool will seek a place back to the
top. It’s very unlikely that Liverpool will manage to catch up or
defeat Barcelona – with the disastrous first game Barca are very
confident and let’s face it – Messi’s talent is impossible to deny.

However, Liverpool may yet win the
game. Doubling down on defense and stressing the importance of
successful attacks on the attackers will become Jurgen’s new mantra
for the upcoming game. Defeating opponents is not an easy undertaking
and when the opponent is FC Barcelona, this is even less of a
plausible scenario to entertain.

Liverpool needs to refocus its efforts
on what can be done rather than worry about the past results. Even
though they probably won’t be progressing to the finals, Liverpool
can definitely do their absolute best to stand out in the next
competition.

All that is needed is for the team to
ensure that they win over Barca and prove that they can do it. If
they drub them 3-0, this will be a fantastic outcome indeed and will
put the team’s back on the top. It’s important to fight for victory –
no matter what the final outcome is. Liverpool know this.
